McGrady Has Knee, Shoulder Scoped
Posted by Stephen Rhodes under Main
It was without a doubt a long and grueling season for Houston Rockets swingman Tracy McGrady, and the physical wear-and-tear apparently showed; according to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, McGrady on Tuesday underwent some arthroscopic surgeries to remove some loose bodies from both his knee and shoulder and to repair a slightly torn labrum in the same shoulder. Based on input from Rockets team doctor Tom Clanton, they found no structural damage in the ligament or cartilage of McGrady’s left knee.
McGrady missed 12 games in December and January with an assortment of injuries, including a strained tendon, patellar tendinitis and a bruised bone in the knee. Soreness in the knee flared up during the Rockets’ series with the Utah Jazz, and it was reflected in his play. That aside, McGrady is expected to recover fully in 3 months’ time, although he can begin the rehabilitation process in the next week or so.
Stumble it!
